Sarah Hoffmann 8eb85f1340 increase penalty for places without housenumber
Results where the housenumber was dropped are an unlikely result
when they refer to something other than a street. Therefore
increase their result rank so that other matches are tried first
before choosing them as a result.

Improves #2167.

Build Status

Nominatim

Nominatim (from the Latin, 'by name') is a tool to search OpenStreetMap data by name and address (geocoding) and to generate synthetic addresses of OSM points (reverse geocoding). An instance with up-to-date data can be found at https://nominatim.openstreetmap.org. Nominatim is also used as one of the sources for the Search box on the OpenStreetMap home page.

Documentation

The documentation of the latest development version is in the docs/ subdirectory. A HTML version can be found at https://nominatim.org/release-docs/develop/ .

Installation

Nominatim is a complex piece of software and runs in a complex environment. Installing and running Nominatim is something for experienced system administrators only who can do some trouble-shooting themselves. We are sorry, but we can not provide installation support. We are all doing this in our free time and there is just so much of that time to go around. Do not open issues in our bug tracker if you need help. Use the discussions forum or ask for help on help.openstreetmap.org.

The latest stable release can be downloaded from https://nominatim.org. There you can also find installation instructions for the release, as well as an extensive Troubleshooting/FAQ section.

Detailed installation instructions for current master can be found at nominatim.org as well.

A quick summary of the necessary steps:

  1. Compile Nominatim:

     mkdir build
     cd build
     cmake ..
     make
     sudo make install
    
  2. Create a project directory, get OSM data and import:

     mkdir nominatim-project
     cd nominatim-project
     nominatim import --osm-file <your planet file>
    
  3. Point your webserver to the nominatim-project/website directory.
